Eye Thrive

Description

Eye Thrive serves low-income children in the St. Louis region with essential vision services through a Mobile Vision Clinic and full wraparound care. Guided by organizational values of transformational change, empowerment, compassion, equity and trust, Eye Thrive ensures clear vision for thousands of children every year. Through a free full service process that includes initial vision screenings, comprehensive eye exams onboard the Mobile Vision Clinic, as needed corrective eyewear made on-site and provided the same day, medical referrals for any advanced care needed and replacement glasses, Eye Thrive is removing the barriers to eye care faced by St. Louis families. If a child can’t see they can’t read, if they can’t read they can’t learn, if they can’t learn they can’t thrive. Eye Thrive works to ensure children have the glasses they need, a positive health care experience, and through the Electronic Medical Records system, the confidence to know that someone is monitoring their eye health year after year.
